1. Search uses an CONTAINS, OR operation if multiple words are typed. - Can select / highlight the comment/post title text for lookup/copy/translate etc iOS native operations. - Powerful search (powered by Algolia API) - use @date to sort by date, #story to filter for stories, #comments to filter for comments, #author_username to filter by user etc.
2. This is useful for when you are viewing the app in split view / multitasking and like opening the link / story / comment in a browser side by side. - Tap the bottom button to scroll to the next root comment in the thread. - Search in comments and usernames!
3. These tags can be separated by commas. Refer to for more tags. - Ability to change font sizes, padding etc to make the layout as compact as you like! - Archive: View an archive of the post website. archive. is, archive. org & google cache. - Articles can be opened in built in safari or 3rd party browsers.
4. HACK for YC's Hacker News is the most beautiful and easy way to read about the latest tech, startup and STEM news. - On iPads, you can drag a story / comment / story's image (link) to open it in safari in split view.
5. Go to settings > Disable the "Use in-app Safari" setting > tap that row to change the default browser. - I run my own server for caching high quality favicons shown in the app plus for push notifications for replies.
6. Supports Brave, Firefox, Firefox Focus, Orion, Opera Touch, Dolphin, DuckDuckGo, iCab Mobile, Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
7. So if you can help support the server costs, please buy the one time only in app purchase.
8. If you would like to support development and buy me a coffee, you can purchase the one time in app purchase! No subscriptions!
9. Search is case and diacritic insensitive and ignores punctuations.
10. I offer an ad and analytics free and beautiful app for the absolute best experience for my users.
11. If you are enjoying the app, please leave me a positive rating on the app store as that helps get the word out to others.
